canton

Hi there, I recently purchase a set of 2nd hand Canton speakers (x 2) and a powered subwoofer. Subwoofer: CANTON AS 22 SC Speakers: CANTON PLUS XL I am getting audio through to the subwoofer, but no audio at all going to the 2 speakers. I have the audio connected from my laptop headphone...

I picked up a Canton Plus B Subwoofer a while back on Craigslist on the cheap. The speaker connections are 2 pin DINs. I bought some connectors and wired them up, but a couple of the connectors don't seem to "click" in, and the connection is not great. So I am looking to replace them with a...

I was advised here to use a pair of Minimus 7's that I happened to have in storage, up top the kitchen cupboards for low volume listening. I added a sub, and it was an excellent suggestion. I read somewhere that Canton also makes a small speaker that would be an improvement to the Min7 in this...

Hello, I'm trying to troubleshoot this subwoofer, that doesn't turn on. What I have done: Opened it and checked for bulging caps: there were none Desoldered the power board (it really isn't a power board: it just switches on and off the mains) Checked a cap there (desoldered, so I could test it...

Wondering if anyone knows where I can purchase a 12" OEM woofer for Canton CT-120 speakers. I already tried contacting Canton directly but they said they didn't carry them anymore.

I’m auditioning these 4 speakers: Canton Karat 300, Ohm FRS-7, Dahlquist DQM-9 Compact, Altec Lansing 305. I’m curious if one of the 4 really stand out and if you had to choose one (all in good condition) which would you pick? Sound + looks is important for me since these will be next to my...

Cantons have been on my watchlist for quite a while now, and quite a few of them have slipped between my fingers. Good deals are more often than not, but the models I have been looking for seem to be harder to get than all the rest (for example Quinto 540). Yesterday i finally bit the bullet...

hello, first time posting on audiokarma, found so much info and inspiration the past years so let me start by thanks to everyone sharing and asking the right questions. I recently bought a pair of canton quinto 520, the sound is overall impressive, although the bass is missing a bit depth and...

Anyone have Canton R100 and can make photo inside magnet and canton sticker? R100 8 Ohm ? R100 / AV100 same speakers? And maybe know why R100 have 2 versions ? Gloss/Matte and one center biggest. (See photos) https://ibb.co/DgFdbkk https://ibb.co/g922z01

Its been a while since , well many things. Since I visited here. Since I got new speakers. Since I wrote anything about speakers. So, here I go again. For a good while I was pretty happy with the speakers I have. And I still am. Really. I even stopped looking at local sales. Just didnt feel a...

Hey AK, I’ve caught the dreaded bug; upgrade fever. And I need your help with my ailment. I recently ‘upgraded’ my ADS L620’s to minty Canton CT-800’s and I’m extremely pleased, but now I’ve set my sights on my late 80’s Denon PMA-520. Should I keep it or ‘upgrade’… that is the existential...

Hi. Does anyone have a pdf user manual (or link actually) for the Canton Plus S and Plus C speakers. Can’t easily find one on the web for some reason. I’d like to see how they are meant to be connected up. The amplifier will be a Yamaha A-1 with only one set of speaker outputs. Many thanks.

Hi there, I'm very sorry but I think I burned my Canton GLE 100 Tweeter. I did a big mistake and suddenly I move the volume of the amp all the way up ( there was no music, I was only checking an hum I was listening) when I heard like a big and short whistle thorough the speakers. Whoops!!! My...

First time posting here. I just picked up a nice pair of Canton CT 90 Speakers. $300 and 65 miles round trip -- gotta love Craigslist! Seem to work great and I look forward to hooking them up with my Sansui AU-717 TU-919. I really like the Mahogany veneer finish. Trouble is they are...

Are there different revisions of the Karat 300 model of Canton speakers? Would one of each revision pair together properly? I’d there a crossover, driver, or impedance variance between the two? I’m aware Canton has released multiple impedance options on some models. Any insight?

Hello and a good day, I am new here, decided to registers cause it seems like nice forums with lots of good info on everything audio. I am in a bit of a pickle regarding some Canton 301 DC crossovers that I got, I cant seem to find anywhere on the inter-webs the original woofer and tweeter...

Hello all, I’ve got a set of full range Canton CT120 speakers. I love them and they’re perfect, but I’m having a difficult time finding a center channel to match. I’ll be running it with a Denon 3600H AVR driving only the center speaker. I currently have a Boston Acoustics VR 12, which is a...

Hey there, picked up a mahogany set of these locally for $650 and was wondering what the actual going rate would be. This is the massive 4-way 90s tower. I feel like I underpaid significantly.

The title of the post is the conclusion of the review, so if you’re not looking to read a mid-pandemic speaker fanatic wax philosophical about “audiophilia” and maybe realize the pursuit of audio perfection is futile, you can stop here. However, if you too spend an inordinate amount of time...

Hey all - LA quarantine luck strikes again and I am the proud / maybe temporary owner of a set of canton karat 100 speakers with subwoofer problem is I already have pioneer Andrew Jones bookshelf speakers. Wondering which to keep? I love the Andrew Jones and the cantons sounds thin without the...

Hi there, i just found in a local store Canton Fonum 251 speakers for 60 euro. Speakers are almost like new. I usually listen to progressive rock and hard rock. Would you recommend me these speakers. What are the pros and cons? thanks, stay with music. \m/.

New to the forum - first post! I'm interested in setting up a <$300 2-speaker stereo for my medium-sized bedroom. My main criteria is clear, full-range sound that I can crank up when I want (26yo male :D). Low maintenance is also a priority. I stream most my music from Spotify premium, but I'd...

Total noob question here-- I picked up a bunch of vintage Misubishi audio equipment at an estate sale and I'm not quite sure how to connect everything up. The 3 pieces in question are a DA-R25 receiver, a DA-P30 Pre-Amplifier, and a DA-156 Equalizer. Using my slew of RCA cables--what goes...

I graduated and am moving to a new, bigger apartment. As such, I have a second bedroom to play around with. A work in progress, but the stereo system is setup and running. New Pangea Vulcan rack and amp stands in rosenut. The living room downstairs had to have the first system with the...
